The AAP MP's wife, Anita Singh said that the ED officials misbehaved and claimed that her husband was arrested in a fake case.
"They questioned and searched the house, computer, and documents but did not find anything. There was pressure upon them (ED officials) to arrest him and they arrested him. They (ED) did not give us any reason. We all are with him. He has been arrested in a fake case," she said while speaking to reporters.
